Each fixture-welded chassis features fully boxed side framerails, front and rear crossmembers, and center X-member on '32-style frames.

These chassis were developed to be used with Brookville's own steel bodies, but will work well with original Ford bodies or with fiberglass reproduction bodies as well.

Smooth Sailing: "Smooth" describes the ride: very low and highly steerable with no bumpsteer and built-in antidive. Installing the one-piece crossmember is an easy one-step operation. The upper control arms are designed to clear the fenders. The 56-inch hub-to-hub tread width gives you the narrow look without any tire to fender clearance problems.

Heidts Exclusive Superide Spindle: This is not a Mustang dropped spindle. Heidts has designed its own one-piece spindle specifically for the Superide. So, now you can get the lowest ride available that's at the top in looks and safety. It's clean and trim adding to the high-tech appearance you want for your frontend. For peace of mind they've made it out of 1045 heat treated alloy steel.

Superide is not a Mustang II conversion kit! Because Superide front suspensions are designed as a complete system, the individual components are not interchangeable with any other stock pieces. Every piece was designed specifically by Heidts for the Superide system. It's your assurance of the right geometry, the right fit, and of course-a super ride!

The best riding and handling IRS to combine with your Superide IFS to make your street rod or muscle car a first-class ride. The geometry is designed to be compatible with all of their independent front suspensions, as well as most other independent front suspension kits. It is a complete kit, hub to hub and with added options your street rod or muscle car will be the hottest ride in town.
